when she pulled out the noose
she said i could choose
green rubber shoes blue paper flower
when she lifted her skirt
she said i have the power
you'd better say you love me or i'll kill myself

*******************************************

sweats and then shivers and then sweats again and my head is so heavy and my neck is so tight
my glands throb, i don't think that's healthy
i cough until i choke on mucus and then i feel like i'll puke my entire tracchea out
in one big snakey mess

next door a flatmate coughs with me in a chorus of ill health
on the stairs mummy flatmate hoovers in her pink marigolds
two flats away obnoxious "sturdy-boy" plays his obnoxious "music" on his obnoxious brand new hifi

in here it is dark and smells of sickness
i'm surprised at my relative cheeriness
i'm worried and also proud about it

it moves me how much the people i have become close to since moving here really seem to give a shit about me

i have run out of nice soft tissues
